Newark Mayor Cory Booker admits he has an astonishing secret habit of going for manicures and pedicures in the middle of the night. While his indulgences do not include meat or alcohol, he admits, “I had an ex-girlfriend who ruined me in terms of my macho, ex-football-player self — she turned me on to mani-pedis.” The 43-year-old politician told the new DuJour magazine, out today: “Being a public figure, people talk smack about you, so I found this 24-hour mani-pedi place and go in the middle of the night. It’s this guilty pleasure I have. Look, manis are good, but pedis — there’s something . . . transformative.” Booker was vague about plans after his mayoral term but expressed interest in succeeding New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. “I would consider running for governor, absolutely. But I don’t know if I would do that over staying where I am.” He added, “Will I run for a higher office against a sitting governor or a senator of my own party? I do not know . . . I think the window closes very soon on some of those options, so either I proactively decide or it’ll be a de facto decision.”
